As the London production of Les Misérables celebrates its 40th Anniversary on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, with a special Gala performance at the Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End, it has been announced that Les Misérables: The Concert Arena Spectacular will make its North American premiere engagement at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The acclaimed production will play a strictly limited engagement at the Music Hall from Thursday, July 23 – Sunday, August 2, 2026.
Following a record-breaking two-year run since its opening in Belfast in September 2024, with over 1-million tickets sold worldwide so far, the new dates will mark the end of the official 40th anniversary celebrations of the world’s longest-running musical. Les Misérables last played on Broadway in 2016 and the London production has just entered its 41st year at the Sondheim Theatre.
Full casting will be announced soon.
Les Misérables: The Concert Arena Spectacular was developed from the hugely successful Les Misérables The Staged Concert, which played for over 200 record-breaking performances in the West End and the legendary 25th Anniversary performance at The O2. It features an extraordinary new design specifically created for larger venues and an electrifying production enhanced with new set and lighting designs, bringing Cameron Mackintosh’s critically acclaimed production to life on a never-before-seen scale, led by an internationally lauded company and orchestra.
Cameron Mackintosh’s critically acclaimed production of Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables continues its record-breaking run at the Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End, with several other local language productions currently on or in preparation around the world.
